Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
michael curry asked me to translate in-english document to, and I did it, then he issued the Cashier’s check with wrong amount which was more double than my quote. so I let him know, he said he is out of the state, in London for Peace Corps conference, and he can not reissue it because his accountant is out of town for 3~4 days, if he does it it will take at least 3 days, he needs my translated document ASAP. so we both agreed to deposit it right that day(the Veteran’s Day, 11/11, 2017). I used the ATM machine for the deposit. when My bank tried to cash it on Tuesday(11/14), his bank didn’t release the fund, but he said everything was set up already, so we both stuck with the Federal Regulation, I let him know about it, he made sound like I was playing bad tricks to him, I explained the situation, He kept saying that he needs money for his plane ticket from London to the State, I told him I should wait until the check clears then I will give him my Document. His check was returned when it was 11/15(Wednesday), 2017, I contacted him with email and texting, no answer. so I thought that he does not want my translation service, I sent text message to him saying if he does not respond by the Friday I would consider it is over. and now He said I am the one who does not work even he sent me the payment.
I have a strong suspicion that he tried to scheme me at the first place.
